Hiking in Scotland

I did not post in a little while... busy life in London did not allow me to. Also, I've not been hiking as much this year, only a little bit in Scotland in the summer. I posted a picture. Yes, it was summer.

We flew to Inverness and drove up to a village called Ulapool, it was quite nice, full of fisherman's boats, lovely seafood. I had never been to Scotland before and I think this was a good place to start, the middle of nowhere.

In the evening I tried the "Haggis" and my Scottish friends were joking about it because I had no idea what it was, so they told me it was an angry animal that lived on the Scottish Munros.

On the next day we drove to one of the Munros. The weather was amazing, nice and warm, until we were about half way through we could only see a few meters in front of us and a neverending bunch of sharp stones to climb. Like a good experienced hiker I brought my gloves, woolen had and waterproof jacket and everyone was laughing, but I had to use everything in the end. I felt like I was in December again.

Pretty hard hike I would say, very good for those who like a real challenge.

Luckily, we also had plenty of hot tea to drink when we reached the top. We were walking along the ridgeline, but the clouds were so heavy that we could only see the beautiful and dramatic scenery for a few minutes and then everything would get clouded again.

On the way down the weather opened up and we could see a bit more. Also, I loved the tiny frogs that we saw all over the monroe.

On the next day we had an easier walk and much nicer on the coast of Scotland, I will post the pictures later.
